All the items in this salad are from the Farmer's Market. It's one of the best green salads I've ever made. I'm not a huge fan of salad and usually when I go to restaurants, I have a no salad policy. The salad is either all salad dressing, or boring, or iceberg lettuce with a few withered carrots. Fresh and interesting ingredients make all the difference.
And this is purple cauliflower that I found at the Falls Church Farmer's Market.
And when it comes to pancakes, I've had as many successes as I've had failures. I didn't try to make pancakes without an electric waffle maker until I was in college. I could just never get them right. But this time that I made pancakes, they turned out great! I made the pancake mix from scratch using a recipe from "How to Cook Everything: The Basics." There wasn't even a "sacrificial pancake" at the beginning.
When I was making these cupcakes, I was just thinking about how far I had come as a cook. A funfetti cake out of the Betty Crocker box with frosting out of a can was something that I frequently made when I was a teenager.
